<p>
Since 2009 DG CONNECT and the U.S. Department of Transportation are cooperating on research related to ICT for Transport. One of the joint working groups focuses on human machine interaction (HMI) and driver distraction. The group has now updated its report on inattention taxonomy which describes how driver behaviour and incident/accident analysis as well as design and evaluation of vehicle systems should be addressed – for the sake of better HMI and less distraction.</p>Thu, 05 Sep 2013 16:01:50 GMThttps://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/news-redirect/11894iMobility Challenge - Intelligent Mobility for Smart Citieshttps://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/news-redirect/11868

Joint standardisation of Cooperative Systems (V2V and V2I) is a core objective of the EU-US cooperation on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). In 2012, two Harmonisation Task Groups worked in parallel on analyses of security standards (HTG1) and Communications Standards (HTG3). The HTG1 analysis indicated that the initial set of security standards, developed by IEEE, was reasonably well harmonized. However, gaps still exist and must be addressed before large-scale deployment occurs. The HTG3 analysis involves the current differences between the EU and U.S. approach to standardizing communications at 5.9GHz for V2V and V2I safety-of-life and property communications. The HTG3 identified differences that presented interoperability challenges and offered suggestions for harmonizing these differences to achieve a single global standard. Both Harmonisation Task Groups' reports plus an introductory report and a report documenting the lessons learned in conducting the harmonisation activity, altogether ten papers, can be found here below.Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:49:00 GMThttps://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/news-redirect/10154eCall • Memorandum of Understanding for Realisation of Interoperable In-Vehicle eCall • Document and Signatorieshttps://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/news-redirect/9946
